The verdict means that LGBT people from any American state can become legally married without fear of their marriages being invalidated by state governments.

自此，美国50个州的非异性恋者都能在法律的庇护下享受合法的婚姻并且再也不用冒着被各州政府宣告婚姻无效的风险。

The majority verdict in Obergefell v Hodges was decided by the 5 votes to 4 in favour and enshrines the right to marriage equality under the 14th amendment of the US Constitution.

作为对Obergefell vs.Hodges案的多数裁决，美国高院的九位法官用5：4的投票结果重新诠释了宪法第十四条修正案。

Gay marriage (pride) parades in the USA were led from San Francisco from Friday with thousands of people attending.

为了庆祝这场胜利，美国旧金山数以千计的民众参加了从周五开始的同性恋者大游行。

San Francisoites Eugene Chisenko and his husband Chuck Goldhaber told The Guardian that the decision means that they feel like they can now participate normally in US society without feeling marginalised.

“It feels less like we’re insisting on being normal and that we just are normal. It feels less about sex,” Mr Chisenko said.

“我们觉得自己再也不用努力去变成一个正常人，因为我们本来就是正常的。性别不再是我们难以启齿的隐痛。” Chisenko如是说。

LGBT advocates will now focus on fighting legal discrimination against them in housing and employment. Campaigners say that the only way to ensure this discrimination is abolished to make changes to the Civil Rights Act.

自此，LGBT的拥护者把关注焦点转而放在了法律对他们住房和工作的歧视上。运动的组织者说这些歧视被彻底废除的唯一办法就是对人权法案做出更改。

In some parts of the USA South and the world, the decision has been widely condemned.

不过，在美国南部和世界的很多地方，高院的这纸判决倍受责难。

Texas attorney-general Ken Paxton said that his state would not obey the ruling. Also, the Catholic Church has said that it will reinforce the idea of traditional marriage.
